LLL- I said on my instagram that I would update. If you're not following lord_loss_love on instagram then you're probably not missing out on anything but it wouldn't hurt to check it out.

"No... Eren stay in bed, dammit. You're not well enough to move yet!"

Eren struggles against Armin's efforts. "It's been two days. I'm sick of this. You guys aren't telling me what happened. I need to know!"

"Just let him up."

Armin turns around to see who is at the door. His eyes go wide. "Levi! Why are you up? You've still got a lot of broken bones and possibly a collapsed lung!"

"I can still breath with it in my stomach. I'm not staying in the bed so if you want to keep an eye one my health then you'll have to accompany me, Armin."

The blond boy sighs in defeat. He puts out his hand to Eren and helps him off of the bed. Eren loops his arm around Armin's shoulder and the two walk to the door. Levi does the same, using the slightly shorter male as support. In the main room of the house stands Bertoldt and Reiner.

Bertoldt is walking around the room and Reiner is leaning against the wall.

"Where is everyone?" Eren asks.

"Mikasa, Hange, Erwin, and Christa are in the capital. They are both investigating and negotiating. Jean, Connie, and Sasha are helping rebuild. Soleanna and Ymir are keeping watch around this area for assassins of any type."

"Assassins? Rebuilding? What the hell happened?"

"They still haven't told you?" Levi mumbles.

"Told me what?"

Levi exhales deeply. "Lets just show him."

"Fine. but we can't go out looking like this." Armin demands. "Let's change clothes first." Armin unwraps their arms from his neck and both of them sit down. Levi takes a chair while Eren is on the floor,cringing the whole way down. With disregard of the fact that both Bertoldt and Reiner are in the room, Eren grabs Levi's hand.

"So," Levi mumbles, "sorry about what I did to your eye."

"Are you really?" Reiner retorts.

"No."

"What did he do to your eye?" Eren asks.

"Stabbed me with an unknown medicine needle."

Eren raises an eyebrow. "Why...?"

Bertoltd steps in. "To save his life."

"Ok...?"

"He could have stuck me somewhere else."

"No he couldn't," his friend debates. "You're harder than rock, where was he supposed to stick you with a makeshift needle? Your ass?"

"He enjoyed it," Reiner grunts.

Levi shrugs. "I can't deny that."

Armin returns with various fabrics drooped over his arms. His clothes are already changed. He wears a blue top that matches his eyes and shiny yellow bottoms with...interesting shoes. "Ok, this is for you, Levi and these are for Eren." The clothes are decorated in gold trim and bold colors.

Levi strips in the middle of the living area and Eren walks to a nearby room, not as confident. Bertoldt turns around and Armin assists Levi in dressing in the difficult attire. Reiner doesn't even bother averting his gaze. Bertoldt gives him a surprised look. Reiner raises his eyebrows. "What! We're all men! And plus, it's not like I can completely look at him."

"Keep looking at him and you'll lose the other eye." Eren growls, walking out of the room, adjusting his burgundy coat.

"Wow," Bertoldt gawks. "You look great, Eren."

"Tch, do you want to lose a few inches, long legs?"

"No sir." He puts his hands up in defense.

Armin sighs, buttoning up Levi's shirt and straightening the ruffles. "I think you both look good, now can you not threaten the first person who compliments the other."

"I can promise I won't kill them, but nothing less."

"I'll take it."

"Did I do this right?" Eren asks. Armin walks over to him and adjusts a few things on the outfit.

"Yeah. I'm surprised you got it right."

"If I can get the 3DMG straps then this is cake."

"It took me forever to get this right."

Levi changes the subject. "Why are we wearing these?"

"We are in the inner more most, Wall Sina. If you want Eren to see what happened we're going to need to walk through the district and we don't really want to stick out right now. Ok. So there's one more thing. He pulls out a large purple hat. "This is..."

"I'm not wearing that." Levi immediately declares.

Eren snickers under his breath. "Come on Levi. I think it's cute."

"Fuck you."

"With pleasure."

"I will kill you."

"Be gentle."

Reiner exhales deeply. "Can you two not flirt in front of others. If you're going to go then get a move on."

"Why can't they dress up?"

"Everyone knows who they are and they've been given special privilege."

"Yeah. See?" Reiner turns and they notice the Military Police logo on the sleeve.

"Ok, so you're a unicorn now? Whoopty fuckin doo."

"Not the point. The Military Police are threatened by us without their "elders". The people don't trust the Survey Corps any more than they do a titan and Christa is the queen of the human race..."

"That doesn't explain why you're wearing a Military Police coat."

"It reassures the people within this wall that we are harmless."

"But are you?"

"Yeah," Bertoldt shrugs. "I can only turn into a titan once every 4 months or so on a good day."

"Every 4 months?!"

"Yeah." He rubs the back of his head.

"Is that why you waited a full five years to destroy Wall Rose?" Eren points out.

"I was much younger then. It took a lot out of me."

"Does anyone else know this?"

"No one other than the people currently standing in this room."

"So you turning into a titan and destroying everything was an empty threat to the military police?"

"Yeah. Pretty much. I mean, I can turn but not 60 meters. Or anywhere near that. I could if I had the herb but I don't like taking it."

Hearing the herb being brought up brings back terrible memories to Eren. "Lets go you guys. I'm done talking." Eren walks to the door.

Armin binds down on one knee in front of Levi. "Tell me what hurts so I can avoid putting too much pressure on you."

"I'm fine."

"Quit being stubborn and just tell me."

Eren sighs and walks over to Levi. The shifter raises his fist, ready to attack. Levi covers his stomach, glaring at Eren and ready to fight if they must for whatever reason.

"The left side of his abdomen is hurting. Stay on his right and don't let anything come in contact with it. His right leg is also in bad shape but he can bare it."

Reiner glances at Levi's stale expression and then back at Eren. "How did you get all of that. Do you guys fuck that much?"

"No, stupid." Armin snaps. This is the first time any of them have heard him spout such... language. "Being threatened, Levi covered up what he felt needed to be protected most. That means whatever he covered up is in pain and the severity of the pain is weighed by how much he protected it. I just didn't expect Eren to read that so well... No offense."

"None taken." Eren turns again and walks back to the door. "The Military Police made it a priority when I was there to learn how to read people. I didn't see why this mattered since titans don't need reading. I still don't."

The thought refreshes itself in everyone's head that Eren spent the past year with the Military Police. He's tougher and even smarter. Despite that, he went through a lot.

"Eren, come over here. You're going to assist me." Levi huffs.

"But Armin..."

"Just get over here."

Armin stands up with a smile. "It's fine Eren. I need to check the area anyway. I'll be back." Armin leaves the house and Eren takes his place, kneeling in front of Levi. Those threatening eyes are burning straight through him. Was he looking at Armin like this?

Levi reaches forward, grabbing Eren's collar and yanks him into a kiss.

"Oh God." This time both Reiner and Bertoldt avert their eyes.

Eren's hand finds its way to the back of Levi's neck, begging for more.

Levi slowly pulls out of the kiss, clearly wanting more himself. "Come on. Lets go." Eren helps him out of the chair. Levi glares at Eren's gloomy expression. "Stop blaming yourself. This isn't your fault."

"Then who was it that hurt you? Who's fault is that you can't walk?"

"My own. Now shut up before I break your legs." Eren stops debating but his expression is the same. The four head out of the house into the royal district.
